Nik. The Hostel was built in 2012. It is located 2kms outside of Albufeira (in Patroves) which is good for people who aren't looking for too much tourist entertainment... It has nice comfy beds, modern bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There is a nice little garden/court where you can enjoy the evening. No partyhostel, good to have a relaxed stay. Quite a walk to the beaches(20-30min), but they rent bicycles (5€ for 24hrs). Supermarked in walking distance, bus stop as well. Very nice owners!

jueckermann I attended an conference in Lisbon and my wife and I decided to spend the weekend in Albufeira. I booked Sol a Sul Apartements through the internet and did not expect much. However, on arrival, Maria and her husband welcomed us with big smiles and showed us to a very comfortable apartment. We had a balcony with a lovely view of Albufeira and the sea, ideal for sundowner drinks. The location is very good, lots of parking, literally a couple of minutes to the beach (just two flights of stairs) and then less than five minutes to the main downtown area. We enjoyed staying here and according to us, is tremendous value for money. We are defivnately planning to go back!
